This office building houses some 640 employees and is the head office of Diakonisches Werk der Evangelischen Kirche in Germany and of Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst. The building consists of two L-shaped volumes that share a central atrium. In addition to office and administrative sections, the building also has conference facilities, a library, an inhouse restaurant, a café and a place of worship. With its narrow footprint, it fits smoothly into the locality and functions as a strong point of identity for the users.
